Of course, it does not work straightforwardly and one has to install new packages as demanded by the installer (mostly development files).

The main difference between these instructions and what I did, apart from the drivers' version, is that I had to --disable-network-build rather than enabling it due to unmet dependencies. Then it seems that the configuration tool selects by default the hpijs drivers, which do not work fine in my case. I needed reconfigure the printer to select the cups drivers from the cups administration web interface.

NOTE: My printer model is also all-in-one but way older than the one from the instructions. It works fine now. In addition if, as it was my case, you need to test several configurations before finding the working one, do not forget to make clean before make.

Yes, hplip wants to be removed currently. You should watch such things that apt-get reports before the dist-upgrade and avoid dist-upgrading until this is fixed in the package dependencies.

The reason today is that libsnmp15 would be removed because of the currently missing up to date libperl5 library. This leads to a dependency issue with libsnmp15 that is hplip deoending on.

The transition to X.Org 1.10 in sid has begun. DO NOT dist-upgrade so long as REMOVES are being shown, as doing so would remove the xserver video and input packages leaving you unable to start X.

Updates about this issue will be posted in the relevant thread in the "Upgrade Warnings" section of the forum here.

Additionally, the transition to Perl 5.12 has begun. Relevant details here [ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619117 ]. Again, DO NOT dist-upgrade so long as REMOVES are being shown. These transitions should be over shortly, so a little patience will go a long way in keeping your system up and running.

It is fixed now. hplip is not going to be removed anymore here (32bit)

The following packages will be REMOVED:
libperl5.10 (5.10.1-20)
virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 (4.0.4-dfsg-1+b1)
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libmtp-runtime (1.0.6-5)
libperl5.12 (5.12.3-6)
libxcb-util0 (0.3.8-1)
linux-headers-2.6.38-5.slh.3-aptosid-686 (2.6.38-31)
linux-image-2.6.38-5.slh.3-aptosid-686 (2.6.38-31)
The following packages will be upgraded:
...[cut]...

After this operation, 243 MB of additional disk space will be used.

you shouldn't be seeing mysql-client mysql-client-5.1 mysql-server mysql-server-5.1 getting removed, I'm not seeing this and I rely on mysql for mythtv. On 4 of my computers mysql & mythtv don't want to be removed anymore

As long as only libraries get removed, this should be no problem. Usually the dependencies from application packages are defined fine.

If you need pidgin, you should not dist-upgrade. If you do not use it, just note it in a text file "lost_packages.txt" or something like this, and check again the next days, if the application is installable again.

portmap is replaced by another package. (rpcbind if I remember correctly).

The only thing is, that I do not know if virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 is required. If you do not use virtualbox, it certainly is not required. But if you are using virtualbox, I do not know.
